Latex tubes in my experience do improve ride quality and resist punctures.Both "impact" and "penetration" types...
I even used Latex tubes off road a couple of seasons ago and rode over 1000 miles that year with NO punctures. Not bad...
However.... Installation is key. Nearly all users who suffer with latex tube problems have actually compromised the tube during the fitting process.
Tips for good installation. Plenty of Talc, NO levers ....ever,rim tape, rim and tyre must be in perfect condition, minimum inflation to "shape" the tube before insertion into the tyre.
Couldn't say for sure which ones are best but Michelin seem as good as any. Do miss those green (well not the green bit

) light alloy valve stems that are now replaced by cheaper brass style ones tho...
Finally,they do not like heat, so long descents are bad news. Campag Hyperon Ultra for clincher carries a warning not to use them due to heat under braking
You makes your choice...
